It is quite difficult to damage granite countertops as they are made of well, granite. Granite is a very tough rock form that is normally coated, in the use of countertops, with a thin layer of cohesive material that holds it together and gives it shape. You would either have to hit it with a material that is harder than granite and with a bit of force to do any significant damage
Actually granite can be damaged by carelessness. For example, cutting right on the granite instead of using a cutting board will eventually result in scratches on the granite surface.
